Secretary of State Hillary Clinton praisedthe number of “green jobs” created in Brazil today, thanks to a major partnership with Brazilian windmill blade manufacturing company Tecsis and General Electric.

“Today, Tecsis is a leader in the U.S. market. It exports more than half its blades to the United States,” Clinton said in a speech at the U.S. Chamber of Commerce this morning.

According to Clinton, “Eighty percent” of the raw material the company uses to make the blades actually comes from the United States creating “more than 5,000” green jobs in Brazil.
